Worlds of Adventure WLPP-LP 102.9 FM, Palenville NY Worlds of Adventure is a weekly improv audio drama series from WLPP-LP 102.9 FM, Palenville NY, powered by DramaSystem. Host Susan Davis and a cast of four main characters create a world and a story each season, starting from a blank sheet of paper and a single sentence. Nothing is scripted or canned; the story emerges on the fly as we record it. Every Monday, we release a new half-hour full cast original audio drama episode. Each season is its own self-contained story. The story might be science fiction, fantasy, horror, historical drama, or even Dogme 95-style literary fiction, but it will definitely be nothing like anything you can hear anywhere else. In our 2016 season, join FBI agents Kate Wilma and Denver Winkle as they try to unravel the mystery of a series of strange deaths in the tiny mountain town of Lower Clove, New York.http://worldsofadventure.org
